Background: Anatomical variations of origin of the internal carotid artery (ICA) are very uncommon and may pose a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.
Objective: We report a case of direct origin of the right ICA from the innominate artery (aplasia of common carotid artery) and a case of duplication of right ICA in healthy patients who performed duplex ultrasound (DUS) for primary cardiovascular prevention screening.
Methods: In both cases, the ultrasound scan was performed both in a transverse plane and on the longitudinal axis, and in one of the two cases, a computed tomography angiography was performed to confirm the diagnosis.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how body fat distribution, particularly abdominal obesity (AO), affects the immune response to a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine booster in individuals with a history of infection.
- Researchers measured specific antibody levels in 511 subjects over several months after receiving the booster dose, looking at differences between those with and without AO.
- Results suggest that people with AO who were previously infected show a stronger immune response after the booster, indicating that this group may benefit from the additional dose of the vaccine.
